PART 1 = KCTMO EMERGENCY PLANNING

Introduction

These procedures aim to provide a framework for effectively managing emergencies on KCTMO estates and properties.

These procedures will be hnplemented by CSC/out of hours call handler (currently Pinnacle) and cascaded to the relevant persons to take appropriate action.

Neighbouring areas ~vill be expected to assist as necessary in the event of a major emergency.

There is a RBKC Emergency Plan which can be found on the RBKC Intranet. This can if necessary be implemented via the RBKC Emergency Planning Officer (David Kerry), who needs to be informed via CSC/Pinnacle at the earliest opportunity. A decision will be made by him whether to invoke the council emergency plan, and the additional resources that are available to him. Outside of nomaal working hours the RBKC Borough Duty Officer would control these resources.

KCTMO Emergency Plan

This sets out the roles and responsibilities within the KCTMO in the event of a major incident, which is defined as:

"a major incident or natural disaster resulting in either death, inju® or serious disruption to normal l~b, which wouM acutely stretch the KCTMO’s resources, and which may ultimately overwhelm the KCIMO’s capacity to manage without assistance.f!’om the Council."

For reference the definition of a local authority (in our case RBKC) major emergency is:

"a major incident or natural disaster resulting in either death, injury or serious disruption to normal l(fe and likely to overwhelm a Council’s" services whilst operating under normal conditions, h~ such circumstances specific mobilisation and co-ordination of resources and assistance of other boroughs may be required"

The plan is primarily for managing local KCTMO emergencies on, within, or surrounding our properties and estates, one which can be managed within the resources available to the KCTMO. However this plan can also be used for large scale major events which would overwhelm the KCTMO’s ability to manage on its own, and which would involve the RBKC council resources. The difference being the scale of the emergency and the number of people affected by it.

The responsibilities for initiating the appropriate response are as follows:

Normal working hours: CSC and/or KCTMO Officer Cascade 1

Outside normal working hours: Pinnacle/KCTMO Duty OfficerCascade 2

Implementation of Plans

Staff should be familiar with the requirements of the KCTMO Emergency Plan and know when and ho~v to invoke this. Below are some guidelines:

It is important to understand that there are two cascades; one for use during normal working hours, and the other is for use outside of normal working hours.

TMO00870915 0001 TMO00870915/1

Who must be contacted in an emergency?

Identify who must be contacted in an emergency (as per KCTMO Cascade charts). The cascades are designed so that all information should be passed up and down the cascade keeping everyone informed. All contacts will be via CSC/Duty Officer, who will act as the communications link. It is very important that the RBKC Emergency Planning Officer is contacted at an early stage whatever the scale of the emergency.

Vulnerable residents

Information on numbers of known vulnerable residents are included on the block/property details which forln part of this plan.

Potentially violent residents

Information will be recorded on the VI Rep spreadsheet (held on the KCTMO Intranet), residents’ file, and the warrling indicator on the Academy system. CSC/Pinnacle is responsible for ensuring that their duty staff and any contractors working for them are made aware of any residents who are known to be potentially violent in thek area.

Availability of keys

Duty Estate Staff will have their own set of keys for their own patch, however they will not have access keys for other properties other than gerda keys. It is therefore important that CSC hold a comprehensive set of keys clearly indexed for all our properties, including master keys and fobs to all conmaunal doors/secondary means of escape doors and void properties accessible and readily available by officers who are on duty.

Duty rota

A rota of on-call staff (mostly resident Estate Services Assistants (ESA)) is maintained by the Head of Neighbourhood Management. These staff are on-call outside of normal working hours. The list is available to CSC & Pinnacle. Staff must notify CSC via their manager immediately of any exchanges of duties between themselves so the list remains up to date. An emergency situation may well however necessitate calling resident estate staff who are not necessarily on call-out. A similar rota is maintained for technical assistance & property queries staff

Executive Team

Members of the executive team will be key decision makers (depending on the scale of the situation) for the execution of the plan. CSC/Duty Officer will advise them of the nature of the emergency immediately the details are known. Only one executive team member would normally be required to make the decisions, they may however choose to inform one or more of their colleagues.

List of contact numbers

CSC must ensure they have access to relevant contact numbers including:

Executive Team, Staff on Cascades, RBKC Emergency Planning Officer/Duty Officer, Press Office, key residents, such as estate clubroom key holders, and Residents’ Association Committee members etc.

Out-of-hours duty staff and staff identified on the cascades should notify CSC and H&S Team of any changes to their contact details, to ensure contact details are kept current.

CSC/PINNACLE & DUTY OFFICER ROLE

Information about an incident may come in direct to CSC/Pinnacle from anyone within the KCTMO, most likely this would be a ESA at the scene, or alternatively information could come from outside of the KCTMO e.g. member of the public, resident, council officer etc. The cascade is designed to work in both directions, i.e. the passing of information both up the cascade as well as down the cascade. Ultimately, the key decision makers are likely to be members of the Executive Team, others may be called upon for assistance and advice, depending on the scale of the emergency, with the CSC/Duty Officer acting as the controlling communications link.

The Duty Officer should ascertain as much information as possible to enable them to make an informed decision on what steps to take, and who to involve. If information received indicates a large scale incident, the Council Emergency Planning Officer (or in his absence the RBKC Duty Officer) must be contacted at an early stage. Whatever the scale of the incident, always iuform the Council Emergency Planning Officer. By keeping him informed he can be on standby to assist if the emergency escalates to a size that totally overwhelms the KCTMO’s resources.

The Duty Officer should be clear on where the incident is i.e. the block, and estate etc., also that the emergency is effecting a KCTMO managed property With this information it should be clear from the cascade who needs to be involved. Local knowledge may be a key factor, always involve staff who normally work in the locality of the emergency. It will be necessary to dispatch a ESA to the site of the emergency (if they are not there already) to gather first hand knowledge.

An emergency during normal working hours may involve only a few ESAs under the direction the area Neighbourhood Manager or Head of Neighbourhood Management offering guidance. Out of hours guidance should be sought from the Duty Officer, who will if necessary seek advice/guidance from a member of the Executive Team.

Note: It is important that CSC Assistants have training, so that emergencies are handled correctly, and the call passed to their Team Leaders at the earliest opportunity.

EXECUTIVE TEAM MEMBER ROLE

Primarily an executive team member’s role would be to make an informed decision based upon the information supplied by CSC/Pinnacle, on what action to proceed with. To make this decision you will need to talk directly to the ESA/Supervisor who should already be in attendance at the location of the emergency.

Armed with the necessary knowledge, you should instruct CSC/Pinnacle to inform all KCTMO staff in the cascade to either take action, stand by, or stand down. Confirm with CSC/Pinnacle that the Council Emergency Planning Of[]cer has been informed. This is necessary at an early stage in case the emergency escalates with the possibility of overwhelming the KCTMO’s resources.

The executive team member decides on any necessary liaison with the Chief Executive, KCTMO Board, local Residents Associations or Press etc.

The executive team member ~vill have the authority to authorise estate staff to force entry into unoccupied flats if flooding is suspected to be emanating fi-om there. This will include the authority to force entry into and enter unoccupied leasehold flats.

The executive team member will authorise the mobilisation of Neighbourhood staff from outside of the local area if the situation escalates and more manpower is deemed necessary.

The executive team member should ensure that information is made available to all residents who may need it, including those who may be at work etc when the incident starts. This may be achieved by various means including having a member of staff producing notices or leaflets for distribution, or by having staff on site to pass on inforlnation, or preventing access to danger areas such as during a gas leak.

in major incidents, the lead officer may change during the aftermath. Notify all staff concerned and affected residents of the change as soon as possible.

In the days immediately after the incident, allow residents ample opportunity to air concerns/grievances e.g. through local surgeries with N eighbourhood Officers. This will convey that the KCTMO acknowledges their trauma and may avoid complaints later on.

Ensure regular progress bulletins are issued to residents e.g. on insurance claims, reinstatement works, return moves through newsletters and/or public meetings.

TMO00870915 0009 TMO00870915/9

SENIOR STAFF MEMBER ON SITE ROLE

This person could be any staff member in the KCTMO during normal working hours, however this will be the on call Neighbourhood staff outside of normal working hours. They should gather as much information as possible as to the extent of the problem. This should be passed on to CSC/Pinnacle, who will inform an Executive Team member. During normal working hours your call may initially go through to the CSC, in which case you should advise who you are and the nature of the call and asked to be transferred to a Team Leader.

This person will quickly ascertain if extra staff are needed on site, and if not already done so, call the emergency services.

This staff member will need to seek out information from the emergency services, who may not necessarily pass on information as a matter of course.

Ensure that residents’ primary needs (i.e. shelter, food and warmth) are met as quickly as possible. You may need to open up a rest centre. Consult the block details to see ~vhat the most suitable location would be for this. Find out who the key holder is and make preliminary contact to advise that we may need to use the location as a temporary rest area.

When opening up a rest centre, ensure it is made as ~velcoming and comfortable as possible, i.e. by turning on the lighting and heating, arranging tea/coffee, turning on a TV or radio for entertainment (if available).

Allow residents to use the KCTMO’s mobile phone (residents may be able to organise alternative accommodation by contacting their relatives/friends).

Arrange for a roll-call to be taken and identify any special requirements e.g. special needs, disabilities.

Put someone in charge of organising refreshments - depending on the numbers involved, 2/3 persons may be required to do this.

Advise of any known vulnerable/less able bodied residents that may come to your attention as needing assistance.

Other than dealing with the immediate emergency you will need to assess whether contractors need to be called for any making good, boarding up, security works etc as a result of the emergency.

Safeguard residents’ homes and belongings. This may involve:

contacting Technical Services commissioning works e.g. "make safe", security, boarding up, repairs etc. arranging security guards installing de-humidifiers removing residents’ belongings to a temporary secure store

Avoid having people doing nothing at the scene. This is an inefficient use of resources and creates a negative impression.

You will need to be guarded against off the cuff remarks to members of the public which could be

mis-interpreted, and used agains~ us in the aftermath.

TMO00870915 0010 TMO00870915/10

TECHNICAL SUPPORT ROLE

During normal working hours Technical staff (Assets & Regeneration) will be available to offer guidance to other KCTMO staff on site involved in any emergency situation. They will be able to offer advice on the scope of works to be carried out, and any appropriate actions which may be necessary to make safe. They will also offer advice on any follow up action required and advise on which contractors to call to make good and do any remedial works as required.

Outside of normal working hours, the Health & Safety Team has organised a core of staff members with the appropriate local and property knowledge who will be available to call for the same advice as above. A list of these staff members is printed on the out of hours call out cascade. The Health & Safety Team have an on-call rota for out of hours advice and CSC / Pinnacle are advised of the rota.

TMO00870915 0011 TMO00870915/11

REST CENTRES

Identify facilities that exist locally and in neighbouring areas and determine which are suitable for use in the scale of emergency that is applicable. The most suitable rest centres are identified in the block details. These may include: KCTMO tenants clubrooms, or church halls, schools, social clubs etc via RBKC.

As a minimum, rest centres must be accessible by persons with disabilities and have heating, seating, lighting, WC facilities, drinking water, an urn/kettle, crockery or a supply of paper cups, and first aid supplies. First consideration should be given to local clubrooms and sheltered housing, as these will already have many of these facilities (with possibly the services of a Community Officer).

Having identified a suitable rest centre(s), establish whether they can be used for this purpose and if so, what the access arrangements are. Establish contact with the key holders, and advise them that they may be called upon to provide access in an en-~ergency. In the case of tenants’ clubrooms, keep a set of keys centrally if possible. The Residents Involvement Team ~vill often have keys to these facilities.

The rest centre should ideally have sufficient room for about 30-40 people.

If it is proposed to use a nearby school, or other non KCTMO properties, liaise with the Council’s Emergency Planning Officer to establish what the contact arrangernents are.

Temporary Accommodation

If temporary accommodation is needed, this should be arranged with the council’s homelessness team, via CSC/Out of Hours Re-Housing Officer.
